Jeff, I cannot thank you enough. I listened to about an hour of the oral arguments yesterday and couldn't stomach continuing. Your comments today completely exceeded my expectations. It is really stressful waiting to know how these decisions will turn out knowing they directly impact my ability and many of my coworkers ability to keep our jobs, but you help lessen the stress by sharing your knowledge. I am really glad I found your blog and that you are on our side in this battle.
The perverse funding from the government to schools and hospitals must stop! It could be an essential step for halting this madness!
The funding applies to all states, but this group is fighting for Tennessee:
“Billions of dollars in COVID relief funds are pouring into Tennessee hospitals through the CARES Act. The CDC publishes Provider Relief Fund COVID-19 High-Impact Payments here. This money has conditions that must be met to receive it.”
Lawyer here. What I saw from liberal SCOTUS justices yesterday was panic. They know where the decision lies- against the mandates. During a deposition, if a lawyer has a shitty case, he'll bang his fists on the table for dramatic effect. That's the shit we saw yesterday from the left.
I like your take and trust your professional interpretation. It is hopeful.

I know of a nurse who circumvented a flu vaccine mandate from a hospital. She stated
1.) This was not in the contract she originally signed with them. She was abiding by the original.
2.) She would reconsider, though, as a gesture of good will, with one condition. Since the shot was now mandated as a condition of the workplace, she would comply if the " product" would be fully and completely removed from her at the end of each work day and at the end of her employment with the hospital.
Going from a mandatory vaccine to a mandatory embedded chip is a very small step and all the same arguments could be applied. "A key card could be stolen so we have to embed the chip in you to protect the other workers".
I have been a nurse for 17 years, never required to take a flu vaccine at one of the largest hospitals in Florida. They gave you the options to decline and you had to wear a mask during flu season, but we never really did. 🤷🏻♀️
I would still like to know why no one ever seems to mention that these are experimental drugs and that by mandating them they are forcing the American people to participate in a human trial without informed consent.
The thing is, even if they get approved, why should anyone be forced to get them? When there is risk, there must be informed choice, whether the NIH's 32,000 employees agree with you or not.
It was an incredible deceit to approve Comirnaty, not available, but people think “Pfizer is approved, but in my CVS they are purveying Bio in tech 19 still under EUA!
As a healthcare professional I feel hopeless and discouraged. Looks like we gonna be thrown under the bus as a sacrifice, being punished for all we did from the beginning of the pandemic... You say hospital had flu vaccine mandates before with liberal exemptions. Well, these exemptions are not liberal anymore, and this vaccine is not like flu vaccine at all. They can update the mandate with endless boosters. And I don't see if these mandates have any timeframe limitations, so they can stay indefinitely.
I’m a nurse. Received the initial 2 Pfizer doses but got very ill after the second dose. I will not get injected again with mRNA vaccines. Family doc said he would sign a medical exemption for booster if necessary. Every healthcare worker should walk if these mandates are upheld. Not going to be a human sacrifice for their sick unscientific game.
There are long term effects here. I am in a blue state area where all the jabbed and some boosted are getting covid. They are also scrambling for ivermectin. That genie is out of the bottle. people are following the FLCCC protocol with neutroceuticals. They are calling telehealth and going to friends with supplies and online pharmacies. You know what they are not doing? Making doctors appointments and going to the hospital. Long term effect here is mistrust of medical professionals. Maybe that is bifurcated and the CNN followship are going more frequently? The stories of lawyers like our dear Jeff here having to sue hospitals for treatment is not how you treat your customers and survive (arguably the actual customer of hospitals in the Government with medicare/medicaid.)
As for the SCOTUS. The liberal justices look S.T.U.P.I.D and corrupt. Half of the country will see this, we weren’t looking before.
You are exactly correct! People are afraid to go to the hospital and nobody trusts their doctors now. We have been left to figure this out for ourselves. Figure out our own diagnosis, our own treatment, our own medications, our own doses, our own healthcare advice to listen to. But, maybe we should’ve been doing this a long time ago. 🤔 The scariest part is a lot of more serious health issues and screenings are getting ignored and shelved because…you guessed it…we’re not going to any doctor for anything anymore. They can no longer be trusted. 😔
You are exactly right there is no end in sight for boosters as it looks to be destroying inate immunity. Even the twice vaccinated should be upset and standing at this point. Most were duped into thinking they would have lifelong immunity with those two shots.
It would make it so you don't breathe. No O2 taken from the environment. No CO2 put into the environment. A double win. Oh...but, you'd be dead. - Same end goal.
I am in the same ring as you. Also one of them, Amy can't remember her last name was challenging the OSHA Mandates I read from Daily Wire,something about how can they really be involved in this. They need to keep appealing if it doesn't go through until they wear them down.
Why didn’t any of the lawyers bring up the fact that all the available vaccines are still under EUA and a person can’t be forced to take an experimental treatment? One of the justices (I forget which one) said that the vaccines are FDA approved. They are not! The lawyer let that slide. This is not an irrelevant fact. We can’t allow citizens to be coerced into a medical experiment through misinformation.
“First, the case has to be decided on the LEGAL issues at this stage. So it doesn’t matter how dangerous or harmless Covid is right now. They didn’t waste their limited time arguing about that.”
In theory that’s correct. In practice it is not. And we know this simply by reference to the contemptible, ignorant performances by Breyer, Kagan, and the Moronic Puerto Rican (I can say that, because I’m Boricua by choice, and my wife is Puerto Rican).
IMO, it mattered immensely for the Justices’ patently false statements of danger to be debunked publicly and persistently (though respectfully, so as not to give the squishes on the Court any reason to waver).
Not because it would change the corrupt Lib Justices’ already-made-up, politically-driven minds, but because they need to be exposed beyond any shadow of a doubt for the garbage, dishonest Justices they really are.
Thank-you for pulling on my coattails to try and remove me from the ledge. I'm sorry I can't come all the way down yet, but at least now I'm sitting, instead of standing. I pray your opinion is correct, that the mandates will be overturned.
This is the only "social media" I'm a part of. I'm only here for the info really, but sometimes I have to say something. I haven't watched the news since 1985. Maybe the weather part a few times, but nothing all the time.
Yeah, don't I know it! --- It's usually the reports about where/if a tornado is in the area. Maybe a snowstorm or flash flooding. Other than stuff like that, I really don't care about the weather. I gave up thinking about it many, many years ago. I can't control it, why worry?
"Somebody should let Justice Sotomayor know so that she doesn’t worry."
I realize this line was snark, but truly, Sotomayor doesn't worry. Well at least not for the children. Were she concerned, she would have the correct numbers from personal research. Her sole concern is for government power.
Isn't everyone overlooking the fundamental question of Constitutional authority to do any of this? Seems they are getting lost in the weeds of opinions of whether they agree with the effectiveness of mandates or whether the circumstances are severe enough to take these steps or if the vax is effective or not. Isn't this a fundamental legal/Constitution "freedoms" question?
What I find so sad here is that nothing is discussed about the number of people who have died and been permanently maimed by mrna shots. The shots do not prevent infection, they do not prevent transmission. There is essentially no difference between the vaxxed and the unvaxxed. The shots are not saving lives they are taking them.
The vaxx true believers won't hear it, but if we can keep playing the concise, broken record you state so well, maybe some others will finally hear it, and a synapse or two will fire up for them. The continued vilification of unvaxxed by jb, fauci and others cannot go unchallenged. We need to keep saying it, don't stop - to speak up is not wasted energy.

My sentiment exactly. I wanted to puke while listening to the livestream.
Same here. I couldn’t listen to all.

I'd like to believe that, but in my opinion, it was Justices offering testimony to bolster...and it may work, sadly.
Their testimony is worthless and has almost nothing to do with the legal issues presented in the injunction analysis.
True, however the law is getting flushed down the sh#tter daily.
Sound and fury, signifying nothing.
sigh..I hope
I like your take and trust your professional interpretation. It is hopeful.

Remember the Obama care decision? Good times, uh? I have zero confidence in the robes. Just an unemployed nurse here.
Yep states have no standing against each other, what a joke

2.) She would reconsider, though, as a gesture of good will, with one condition.

Yes! that "removable" argument is great, and I think it has worked for a lot of people.
Now that i think about it that’s brilliant, like mandating a surgically installed helmet to prevent head injuries AT WORK. 😂
She was luckily hired before the flu shot mandate was made.
Awesome
I would still like to know why no one ever seems to mention that these are experimental drugs and that by mandating them they are forcing the American people to participate in a human trial without informed consent.
Thanks to the propaganda campaign, nearly everyone believes the vaccines are approved.
The thing is, even if they get approved, why should anyone be forced to get them? When there is risk, there must be informed choice, whether the NIH's 32,000 employees agree with you or not.
It was an incredible deceit to approve Comirnaty, not available, but people think “Pfizer is approved, but in my CVS they are purveying Bio in tech 19 still under EUA!
Yes! At one point, a justice and the pro mandate spokesman said theses “vaccines are approved by the FDA! Unchallenged.
THIS!!! Yes! I almost vomited. I couldn’t listen anymore.
As a healthcare professional I feel hopeless and discouraged. Looks like we gonna be thrown under the bus as a sacrifice, being punished for all we did from the beginning of the pandemic... You say hospital had flu vaccine mandates before with liberal exemptions. Well, these exemptions are not liberal anymore, and this vaccine is not like flu vaccine at all.

Hang in there and don’t let them wear you down!
Thanks Jeff, I hope you guys have a plan how to help us. I am praying to our Lord for strength an courage.
This may sound a bit nutty, but I often wake up early to scary/sad thoughts.
Not this morning. I went to sleep worrying about this. And woke up early to "It's going to be ok."
I think "the fever" is peaking. It will break soon...
🙏🏼🤗
May it be so.
You are not ALONE!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏

Not only that, but subsequent vaccines containing who-knows-what will have this legacy of force for whatever “emergency” they cook up next.

and why is LIABILITY never mentioned?
Because they are not liable. "They" made sure of that.
Edited to correct spelling.
Correct. They have no liability under EUA.
That’s exactly what I was wondering myself. I believe it was Prelogar who brought up the fact shots were approved.
It was a clever and successful bait and switch.
There is no scientific or medical justification to mandate this shot for anyone , anywhere period
Agree. First, because it's just a shot, not a vaccine.
Man, I needed to hear your perspective! Thanks, Jeff, for interpreting things for us. How I pray that truth and the Constitution triumphs!
“First, the case has to be decided on the LEGAL issues at this stage. So it doesn’t matter how dangerous or harmless Covid is right now. They didn’t waste their limited time arguing about that.”

Hang in there with us. We need you.
I work towards that goal everyday. Thank-you for your thoughts.
The secret is staying off social media and not listening to news - at least for me.
This is the only "social media" I'm a part of. I'm only here for the info really, but sometimes I have to say something. I haven't watched the news since 1985. Maybe the weather part a few times, but nothing all the time.
Most of the time, one doesn’t miss too much by skipping the weather report either!
Yeah, don't I know it! --- It's usually the reports about where/if a tornado is in the area. Maybe a snowstorm or flash flooding. Other than stuff like that, I really don't care about the weather. I gave up thinking about it many, many years ago. I can't control it, why worry?
"Somebody should let Justice Sotomayor know so that she doesn’t worry."
I realize this line was snark, but truly, Sotomayor doesn't worry. Well at least not for the children. Were she concerned, she would have the correct numbers from personal research. Her sole concern is for government power.
I was discouraged & outraged at the liberal judge's out-of-touch with reality spew of stats so yea thank you for your take on things
I'm on your side and very much appreciate what you're doing but I need to "fact check" you on the number of hospital beds.
I believe 80,000 is the number of ICU beds.
800,000 is the number of ALL hospital beds.
These numbers come from the HHS Protect web site so they only include hospitals registered with CMS.
You’re correct, I meant ICUs
And by the way, I'm using round numbers here.
By 800,000 I mean 771,000.
By 80,000 I mean 81,555.
Sotomayor claimed that 100,000 children are in critical care, many on vents.
"In Critical care" implies ICU.
Jeff cited 80,000 hospital beds to point out that we don't even that many critical care beds for the entire population, never mind one segment of it.
His exact words are:
"And even more embarrassing for the Justice, there are only 81,000 TOTAL hospital beds — of ALL TYPES — in the U.S. altogether. Whew."
Notice "ALL TYPES".
Uh-oh. There goes my short term memory!
Isn't everyone overlooking the fundamental question of Constitutional authority to do any of this? Seems they are getting lost in the weeds of opinions of whether they agree with the effectiveness of mandates or whether the circumstances are severe enough to take these steps or if the vax is effective or not. Isn't this a fundamental legal/Constitution "freedoms" question?
100% Their only job is to judge the legality/constitutionality of the mandate.
They have neither the authority nor the qualifications to set public health policy.
What I find so sad here is that nothing is discussed about the number of people who have died and been permanently maimed by mrna shots. The shots do not prevent infection, they do not prevent transmission. There is essentially no difference between the vaxxed and the unvaxxed. The shots are not saving lives they are taking them.
The vaxx true believers won't hear it, but if we can keep playing the concise, broken record you state so well, maybe some others will finally hear it, and a synapse or two will fire up for them. The continued vilification of unvaxxed by jb, fauci and others cannot go unchallenged. We need to keep saying it, don't stop - to speak up is not wasted energy.
